SEC CAM 254: 2000, Industrial District
| >A few scavengers come into view- they're running toward the vehicle and seem to be loading it as quickly as they can with piles of scrap metal.
| >The camera points upward and spies a plume of smoke rising into the air.
| >With the vehicle presumably loaded, the camera moves as the scavengers disappear inside and begin to drive off...
>It shakes as the vehicle suddenly makes a sudden change in direction, and appears to be rolling toward the plume of smoke, instead of away from it.
| >The camera shows the vehicle leaping over a mound of dirt and coming to a stop just outside the field of view of a bunch of men in combat fatigues and other gear. Their bodies light up from muzzle flashes as they fire upon unseen assailants. In the distance appears to be a downed aircraft- a Nighthawk combat chopper, one of its wings clipped, and missing a blade on its rotor.
| >Like vultures awaiting the deaths of either party, the camera watches silently.
| >On screen, you see a familiar red silhouette suddenly dive out from one of the buildings! It's then shot out of the air as it collides with four rockets fired from the ground...
| >The camera rocks as several explosions happen just outside of the damaged helicopter, likely from RPG's being detonated. The shadowy forms change positions and take cover from the shrapnel.
| >One of the shadowy figures suddenly raises their hands to their head. They stumble out into the open, dropping their weapon, and clutch their brain as it explodes...
| >As some of the others climb out from behind the barricades and head toward the Nighthawk, several of them appear to argue with each other. A few point their weapons at each other and light up the immediate area with muzzle flares as the the gun battles begin anew.
| >Two drones crash to the ground just in front of the camera. A couple enterprising scavengers pop out to pick up the wreckage and bring it inside.
| >A black clad figure reenters the area, and raises a glowing object which detonates immediately. The feed goes blank.
| That was interesting. -Anon
| >The feed returns slowly to life, to the scene of several of the men from earlier turning on each other. They duck and weave underneath garbage, hide behind ruined buildings and rubble.
| >Minutes of infighting later, the entire area lights up as the downed helicopter explodes in a massive blast.

| >A security camera bursts to life outside the armored scrap hulk of a repurposed police APC. Gutted, its been retrofitted to store cargo- in this case refuse and parts of two thoroughly ruined mechs, scrap metal from destroyed factories, and old laboratory equipment.
>The camera patrols the nearby area, occasionally picking up a scavenger, a group of whom continue working unaware of their device's activation.
